5 (The Storm)
(A/N: Well here it is. The final chapter. I hope you all enjoyed this little mini-series. It you would like, please check out my other stories! I hope you'll like them!)
Its been six days since the almost rabid Luna had been locked in the attic. Since then, she's been put through test to try and get rid of the addiction. Lincoln was skeptical on if this would be considered torture and abuse but Lucy told him these are techniques used by other vampires as well.
But Lincoln couldn't help but feel nervous about continuing the program Luna was being put through.
Right now, the middle child was sitting on the couch watching TV. Though, he was just flipping through channels as there was nothing on today.
Lincoln: *sigh.. Why do I sleep through best parts of TV in the day? Nothing good is on at 3 AM.
Suddenly, the slammed open revealing an exhausted looking Lucy. She stumbled over to the couch and climbed on.
Lincoln: Tough night at work?
Lucy: Sigh.... I feel like my physical body is going to melt into nothing..
Lincoln sighed and gave the goth a nice hug. Lucy hugged back and got up.
Lucy: I'm going to bed.
Lincoln: Night Luce.
Lucy: Oh. You should check on how Luna is doing. Normally I would hear her trying to break out of those cuffs.
Lincoln: You make a pretty good point. I'll go give her a check.
Lucy nodded and walked upstairs. Lincoln shut off the TV and went to the kitchen to gather the greens that Luna had to eat these past few days. Normally, he loved vegetables but the stuff Lisa made Luna eat made him sick to his stomach.
Lincoln: Cabbage. Radish. Oh and a... Yuck.. Cauliflower.. I hope she can pull through all this.
Lincoln got out the ingredients and put them in a blender. Lincoln blended them together so it wouldn't be as bad for Luna when she consumed it.
Lincoln: Alright. Let's do this.
Lincoln poured the blend into a cup and walked up the stairs. He reached and pulled down the attic door and climbed up the ladder.
Lincoln: Uuhh... hey Luna. It's uhh.. time for you to... have your meal.
Lincoln turned on the light, revealing the trapped Luna. It seemed Lucy was correct as Luna had stopped thrashing around nonstop. She looked at Lincoln with a glare.
Luna: Oh great. You're here to force feed me more garbage?
Lincoln: Luna, I don't want to do this too but this is the only thing that will keep you from starving.
Luna: Oh come on! Why not give me some tasty meat? It'll make this much more bearable.
Lincoln: Giving you something like a steak could cause you to become blood hungry again due to how juicy it is.
Luna: Ugh.. blah blah. Let's just get this over with.
Lincoln rolled his eyes and made Luna drink the mixed vegetables. She almost spit it at Lincoln but the white haired man was quick and pinched Lunas nose to make her swallow.
Luna: Yuck!! This stuff is garbage! Can't you make a normal tasty salad?
Lincoln: I'm just following Lisa's orders. She'll scold me if I don't do what I'm told. But hey, pretty soon you might be able to get out and help you get back to your normal thin self again!
Luna: Thin self? Are you calling me fat?!
Lincoln: Luna. You haven't lost any weight since we put you on this thing. You know very well what I meant.
Luna: I... ugh.. just away.
Lincoln rolled his eyes and began to walk downstairs until something caught his eye. Luna's iron straps has tiny little lights on them, indicating they were not just iron, but electrical straps for extra reinforcement.
This was good and all but if there was a power outage, those things could release if nothing was powering them on knowing how Lisa designs these kind of things.
Lincoln: Near perfection but with one crucial flaw...
Luna: What?
Lincoln: Nothing. Good Night.l
Lincoln walks down stairs to the living room and heads to sleep on the couch. But as he closed his eyes, he couldn't shake off this nervous feeling he was getting from Luna. Hopefully, he was just being superstitious..
- Later -
In Lisa's room, she was currently monitoring a camera that was showing Luna in the attic.
The scientist sighed and she rubbed her eyes in order to stay awake as she hasn't stopped watching for two whole days.
Lisa: *sigh... Just.. a little longer and... Luna will be.. all fine.. *yawn... I just need to.. continue watching her to.. keep her from escaping..
Lisa managed to stay awake for only three more minutes until she passed out asleep.
What she failed to notice outside her window was that a large thunderstorm was slowly approaching their way..
- Meanwhile with Lincoln -
Lincoln was still sleeping away on the couch. Though, something seemed wrong as he was tossing and turning as well as breaking a crazy sweat. He was having a nightmare..
Lincoln: N-no.. Luna! Stop... don't... do it!! Zz.. n-no!!
As he tossed and turned, Lucy walked downstairs and went to her brother. Lucy looked out the window seeing the raging thunderstorm going on.
Lucy: Lincoln. Lincoln wake up.
Lincoln didn't respond. Lucy sighed and wastes no time in slapping Lincoln awake.
Lincoln: Gah!!! What the heck Lucy?!
Lucy: You wouldn't wake up. But that isn't important right now. We're in a... Bit of trouble.
Lincoln: A but of... Oh no.. You don't mean...
Lucy nodded. Lincoln wasted no time in dashing upstairs and to the attic to find something awful.
Lincoln: No.. Luna..
The whole attic was destroyed. Furniture was either flipped over or crushed. Lights were shattered and the table that Luna was confined to was nothing but a pile of broken metal.
Lincoln looked to the wall and saw a giant hole Luna broke and escaped through.
Lincoln: How on earth did this happen? Does Lisa ever have a backup plan?!
Lisa: Now is not the time to be blaming me.
Lincoln turned around to see Lisa climbing up the ladder. Lincoln crossed his arms at Lisa in an annoyed fashion.
Lincoln: Oh really? Don't get mad? How can I not get mad? We were so close in getting Luna back to normal! But she somehow escaped off to who knows where! Do you at least have an explanation? From what I'm seeing, this sudden storm cut out the power and shut off the electrical cuffs that were holding Luna down.
Lisa: *sigh.. You make a good point. But I do have a valid explanation on how Luna escaped and I do have a backup. Follow me.
They went down to Lisa's room. She sat by her desk and started searching through security footage of Luna the moment she escaped. After showing Lincoln footage, Lisa turned to him.
Lisa: Indeed it seems that our vampiric captive was released to a power outage during a storm. However, one if my machines recorded it was only off for two seconds. So that means the attic had a delay in the time it receives electricity.
Lincoln: What? That makes no sense.
Lisa: True until you put the age of our home and electrical system. Not everything works correctly in this house you know. Take for example the door knob issue?
Lincoln: Well you do make a point Lisa. But what are we going to do about the rampaging rabid vampire on the loose?
Lisa: Fear not dear brother for I have a back up plan. However, it involves you.
Lincoln: Involves me? What are You getting at Lisa?
Lisa: You don't get it do you? You have to get Luna back through force.
Lincoln: Force?! You're not suggesting I fight her right?
Lisa: Well you did beat her in a duel the night you two were turned into vampires.
Lincoln: Yeah. But that's only because I had it all planned out. The book Lucy had said if she bit me on my wrist, I'll get a boost of adrenaline with the powers instantly! Luna right now is rabid, blood thirsty, and weighs way more than I do!
Lisa: You raise some food points dear brother. But you haven't let me explain the rest of my plan for you to fight Luna.
Lincoln titled his head as Lisa started typing into the computer and pressed enter. Suddenly, the closet opened up and out came some tools and weapons.
Lincoln: What the?! Why in God's name do you have a sword along with a giant metal whip with a morningstar in your closet?! Are... and are these grenades?
Lisa: Affirmative. However, those aren't any normal explosive. I've called them, Garlic Bombs due to instead of causing a deadly reaction that causes destruction, it releases a large cloud of toxic gas made from components of garlic and a little bit of onion to add to its awful smell and taste.
Lincoln: You do know what garlic does to vampires.. right?
Lisa: Correct. They cause slight burns to the skin on contact or consumption. But I've altered the genetic make up of the ingredients to be made only to knock out a vampire.
Lincoln: uhh... alright then. I understand the knife but why a whip of all things?
Lisa: While I was developing the weapons, Lucy showed me a history of vampire hunters and the most common weapon they each used was a whip. I thought it could help you with the whips long range.
Lincoln: I feel like you got that from a video game from somewhere.
Lisa: Uuhhh.. no.... hehe... Anywho, get ready and go. The news has reported a "Mysterious rampaging vampire on the loose. Get her back before Luna is identified and killed!
Lincoln: Alright alright! I'll go get some clothes better suiting for.. Battle I guess.
Lisa: No need. I have one prepared just for you.
Lisa dug into a drawer and gave Lincoln a normal white sleeveless shirt and Gray pants.
Lisa: Also.. Before you leave..
Lincoln: What? You need some-GAH!!!
Lisa quickly pierced Lincolns eat with a blue earring.
Lisa: There. This special earring had a tracker in it. That's so I can track your location for safety purposes.
Lincoln: T-that... Makes sense but.... Ow...
Lisa: Now is not the time to whine. Now get ready and follow Luna.
Lincoln: How will I know her direction?
Lisa: You just will. Now go!
- Later -
Lincoln was now soaring through the skies in his bat form, looking at all the carnage his sister had left behind. Earlier he checked Haiku's cafe and it seemed Luna had already raised the place. Though it was also a blessing due to Luna was leaving behind a noticeable chocolate scent added with a few bodies of the people she attacked.
Lincoln: *sigh... Luna.. I hope you won't make this even more difficult when I find you..
As Lincoln followed the horrid trail, he finally approached his destination.
Luna was walking down the street with a husk in her hand. The Loud boy turned back into his normal form and walked to his sister.
Lincoln: Luna. Its time to stop this.
Luna: Oh my my! Guess who finally arrived... Prepared to try and strike me down like Before?
Lincoln: I guess you could say that. But unlike last time, I actually came prepared with a plan instead of fighting aimlessly.
Luna: Blah blah blah. You explaining your "plan" is boring. Just come on an fight me like a man! Wait... Does that saying still work if I say it?
The two finally stopped walking towards each other. Silence consumed the area as they just stared at each other, each waiting for one of them to make the first move.
Luna: Make your move...
Lincoln: Ladies first.
Luna smiled and threw a punch at Lincoln but it was countered when he grabbed on her wrist and threw her over with a hard slam to the ground.
She growled and quickly stood up against to throw another punch which Lincoln reached to grab. But Luna quickly pulled back and kicked Lincoln's knee, dropping him to the ground.
Lincoln: Gah! Damn you!
Luna: You better watch out hotshot. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve as well.
Luma raised her leg high in the air and forcefully brought it back down, aiming for Lincoln's head but in just the nick of time he grabbed his sword and thrusted it upwards through Lunas lower leg. Taking his chance, he dived beneath her and took the sword out and gave Luna a hard kick in the back.
Luna: Gah! Ow! You... You!!!! I'll... kill you..
Lincoln: I'd love to see you try.
Luna smiled and scooped up some of her blood in the palm if her hand and quickly threw it at Lincoln's face, momentarily blinding him.
Lincoln: Gah! Crap! Get back here! Where are you!?
Lincoln started swinging his sword around violently, slicing up cars and lampposts in the process. Luna watched him from a few feet away.
Luna: He's dedicated. I really do hope he puts up a good fight like last time.. Oh well. I'll let him have his little tantrum so I can heal.
Luna turned around and stared right down the hole of a revolver being held by a cop.
Cop: F-freeze miss! I.. I don't want to shoot a... pregnant lady! A... p-pregnant... vampire.. lady..
Luna: Wait.. Pregnant? I look.. pregnant?!
Cop: Y-you aren't?
Luna: NO!!!!
The cop covered her face as Luna raised her hand to strike her down but before she could attack, Luna felt something metallic wrap around her. Before she could even realize what happened, she felt herself being swung around and tossed through some wall's.
The cop opened her eyes and saw Lincoln walking towards her. He put his whip back in his holder.
Lincoln: Are you ok?
Cop: y-yeah I'm fine.. Wait.. You look familiar.
Lincoln: So do you. Hold on.. You're Carol Pingery!
Carol: And you're Lincoln Loud! The younger brother of my boss.. Lori..
Lincoln: Lori is your captain? Well we sure do have a ton to catch up on but now isn't the time. Follow me!
The two walked into the building Lincoln swinger Luna in. A parking garage, much to their dismay.
Lincoln: Be on your guard.. There's I many things she can hide in or behind here..
Carol: Yeah... I kinda figured that out with all the cars around us..
Lincoln: Yeah.. And hey.. how did you end up in the police force? No offence but everyone thought you would become-
Carol: An actor or model? Yeah. I didn't enjoy it. Too.. boring.
Lincoln: Fair enough.
Their attention was caught when a shadow started moving between the cars. Lincoln drew his sword while Carol pointed her gun at the movement.
Silence. Lincoln figured Luna was in her bat form to sneak around and suprise them.
Lincoln: Come on out Luna! Don't make me start slicing cars!
Carol: Slicing cars?! Are you insane?!
Without hesitation, Lincoln started to strike and flash at the cars. His sword laid waste as he sliced and diced all the vehicles.
Lincoln sliced one more car, making Luna jump out if her hiding spot and stick to the ceiling and kicked Lincoln right in the face. He fell to the ground, causing Carol to start shooting bullets at Luna.
She dodged and dashed towards Carol as she had to reload.
Carol: Crap! No! S-stay away!
Carol got five bullets loaded and fires at Luna, hitting her in the knee. She fell down in pain before Luna reached out and bit Carols leg to suck blood.
Carol: AUGH!!! GET OFF OF ME!!!!
Carol tried to kick her off but Luna's grip was just too strong. Her vision started to get blurry from her blood loss causing her to fall on her back. Luna stood up, ready to stomp Carols face in.
Luna: You'd make a nice vampire.. but I don't need more competition..
Lincoln: LUNA!!!!
She turned around and felt Lincoln's whip wrap around her neck tightly and started to be pulled towards Lincoln.
Luna: Gah!!! Let... Go of me!!
Lincoln growled and grabbed her by the neck then lifted her up. Luna eyed the green looking ball in his hands.
Lincoln: Sorry Luna.. But its the only way..
Lincoln pulled a pin off of it and stuffed it in Lunas mouth. He turned into a bat and flew off after taking Carol to safety.
As Luna tried to spit it out, it started leaking out some awful smelling gas. Luna immediately recognized the smell.
Luna: G-garlic?
- Meanwhile -
Lincoln flew out of the building just as a giant cloud of green gas flooded the building. Before he could go back in to retrieve Luna, he flew the still unconscious Carol back to the police station and knocked hard on the door.
Before the door opened, he checked her teeth and sure enough, fangs were growing in.
Lincoln: *sigh.. Dang it..
The door then opened, revealing a tall blonde woman. Lincoln instantly recognized Lori but just handed Carol over and flew off.
- Later, at The Loud House -
Luna started to open her eyes slowly to find herself on a big metal table in Lisa's lab down in the basement.
Lisa: Ah. It seems you're finally awake. Also I have good news for you. I did an examination on you.
Luna: Examination? What... What do you mean?
Lisa: Well Its just something So I can check on your health but from my diagnostics, your body seems to be rid of all the chemicals that were making you go rabid. Its like that garlic blast did a complete reset on your mind.
Luna: C-chemicals? I thought I was.. Addicted to.. Blood..
Lisa: That's what we all thought as well. But I think he should be the one to explain everything to you.
Luna turned her head to the door and saw Lincoln standing there. Luna teared up and dashed towards him to give him a hug.
Luna: Lincoln... I'm.. I'm sorry...
Lincoln: And I'm glad you're doing ok again..
Luna: hehe... So... What do you need to explain?
Lincoln: Ah. We found something strange in the chocolates that seemed to be causing your sudden change in mood. We don't know what it really is yet but Haiku said she would investigate it along with the cops.
Luna: C-cops?! I'm not going to go to jail... Right?
Lincoln: Well... Me and Lisa did some negotiating and the worst you have to do is house arrest.
Luna: House.. Arrest?
Lincoln: Yeah.. There's nothing I can do about Luna.
Luna: *sigh.. No no.. I deserve it. It's... Can you message Sam and.. Tell her I'm sorry?
Lincoln: Sure thing. But I thing you need some rest.
Luna nodded and walked out of the room and upstairs to the attic. She laid on her bed and went to sleep.
Hopefully, things could get better for her in the future....
The end..
